Paypal journey
Why this works
**Why this works.** The subject line frames the update as a personal account change ("your PayPal account") rather than a generic feature release, which triggers open rates because users assume something directly affects their account security or money. The pattern here is "personalize updates as account notifications, not product announcements"; you can lift it for any feature announcement where you want users to open immediately instead of scanning past a "what's new" message.
